The price of crude oil has dropped significantly, with Brent crude hovering just above $70 per barrel and Urals crude reaching $60 per barrel.

Although neither pillar has completely collapsed, both are severely destabilized, potentially deepening Russia's economic crisis. Long-term attacks by Ukraine are focused on refineries, fuel depots, pumping stations, and railway lines crucial for transforming crude oil into usable energy. Damage to facilities like the Kaptynya refinery has disrupted operations, with Reuters suggesting the plant could remain closed until year-end. Russia’s refining capacity has reached its lowest level in 17 years, impacting military operations, daily life, and other sectors.
